    So if you see the photos you understand why I had to have it now, and worry about ammunition later!

    Came with 100 unprimed cases, a set of dies and the bullet mould. The cases take normal small rifle primers.

    I hand load for all my guns - but have never cast a bullet. All modern smokeless powder and jacketed bullets, though I'm planning to load some 577/450 with black powder and paper-patched bullets I managed to scrounge up.

    The bullet mold casts 130 gr, .299" projectiles. I don't have any other equipment and material. The original loading was 140 gr lead bullets over 8.5 gr of cordite, so I don't think I'll have any problems working up a load with 2207. As long as I can get some bullets!
